Former Western Bulldogs and Richmond coach Terry Wallace has run his eye over every club's JLT Community Series pre-season form, and grouped every side into three categories.
'Plough' believes six sides have made ground, six have held ground and six have lost ground on the competition, based on their pre-season form in recent weeks.
Richmond, Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne all went 2-0 during their JLT matches, and have rightly been graded as made ground.
The Tigers finished on top of the JLT ladder with a percentage of 265.26%, after smashing Essendon and North Melbourne in consecutive weeks.
At the other end of the scale, Hawthorn, St Kilda, Geelong, Brisbane and North Melbourne lost both of their matches, and have been grouped together in the 'lost ground' category.
